Alexander Skarsgard walks back to his hotel after having lunch at Cafe Habana on Wednesday (August 10) in the Soho neighborhood of New York City.

The 34-year-old Swedish actor revealed during an appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly that he initially quit acting after breaking into the business as a kid.

“I did something and when I was 13, it got some attention and I didn’t like being famous. I didn’t want to be recognized, I was insecure, I didn’t like the attention, I didn’t want people knowing who I was; so to hear people on TV, radio talking about who I was and what I like was kind of confusing,” Alex said.

Getting to work on his new project, Alexander Skarsgard was spotted outside of his trailer on the set of “What Maisie Knew” in New York City on Thursday (August 11).

The “True Blood” actor donned a casual outfit of jeans and a t-shirt as he reported for duty after signing a few autographs for some patiently awaiting fans.
